This is a very solid book written by a couple of practitioners. The content and flow are perfect. The only cons of the book are not in the book, but rather what was left out. CONS 1. The elephant in the room. I kept reading the book and felt a huge omission. The authors ideally […]
Atomic Habits is a very good book. The author’s experience shines through the pages. It has a few minor weak points, but overall it’s amazing. Traditionally, let’s start from the (minor) CONS 1. Not enough respect for the power of mind. James Clear considers the environment the biggest determinant of habits. And […]
This is a very good book about the power of journaling. It has some weaknesses, I found a few chapters very out of place in “Writing Your Soul Down,“ they seemed inserted there just for the sake of making the book longer (like the whole chapter about different names of God). But the actual core […]
I found this book to be a fascinating case study about human nature. Oh yes, this is the story about financial instruments and a big business catastrophe, and the author tried to explain the complex mechanisms of financial instruments in details. I applaud him for efforts, but not for the end results. I studied economy […]

Nothing new under the sun, right? Well, yes and no. The ‘practice makes master’ adage was around for centuries. What The Talent Code does with it is takes it to the biological level. And I appreciate that very much. This book had some downsides and some upsides. Traditionally, let’s start from… CONS 1. Narration. […]

In this post, there are two reviews, not one. And there are not usual reviews of business / personal development books usually posted on ExpandBeyondYourself. The first one is a brilliant autobiography and the second is an awesome thriller. The Man Called Red This is very a good book. The writing style is rough, but […]

I loved this book. Mind you, I didn’t have balls to write my own Food Plan and commit to it 100%, but I still love the concept. Just writing the Food Plan down will help you realize how much ambiguity you allow in your life. And this grey area is where you truly fail. I […]
